RIP Maya Angelou. Two favorite quotes...“We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.”

“All great achievements require time.”

And in honor of reading, thanks TTM for yesterday's Book Club info. Here it is for all who missed...

we just chose the next book, it is The Princess Bride and maybe 19 Minutes, next meet up is June 8. We also do a Sunday Night Social post for anyone who just wants to drink and talk shite. Absolutely everyone is welcome!

"When I think of death, and of late the idea has come with alarming frequency, I seem at peace with the idea that a day will dawn when I will no longer be among those living in this valley of strange humors.

I can accept the idea of my own demise, but I am unable to accept the death of anyone else.

I find it impossible to let a friend or relative go into that country of no return.

Disbelief becomes my close companion, and anger follows in its wake.

I answer the heroic question 'Death, where is thy sting? ' with ' it is here in my heart and mind and memories.'

When I read about people living to 115 I have to feel Maya is gone too soon. What an amazing life she had! She is such an inspiration with great accomplishments without great formal education. Her bravery in this life will not soon be forgotten. RIP

"Some people who exist on sparingly on the mean side of the hill are threatened by those who also live in the shadows but celebrate the light...It seems easier to lie prone than to press against the law of gravity and raise the body onto its feet and persist in remaining vertical."

Maya Angelou was an indescribable talent, passionate philanthropist and without question, a hero to me.

The literary world-the world at large for that matter-has been left with an irreplaceable loss. RIP ❤️

I met her only once. She was incredibly gracious to a mother who was juggling a baby in arms and another one in a stroller (that mother would be me :) ). She was an amazing and wise person who made a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to encounter her.

A great lady has died. She will be missed by those who knew her and by many who only knew her work.

This would be a good time for some of you to remember what your mothers taught you, or should have taught you, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all (aka shut the fuck up).
